Elevation and tune?
I just bought a supercharged car that was tuned at RPM in Garner NC elevation 308 ft. I live in a suburb of IL elevation 730 ft. Do you guys think that my tune would be affected much or would the maf sensor compensate for the difference? Thanks

yeah but air gets thinner as you go up. 400 feet difference is nothing. When you start changing to 1000s feet difference it will be noticeable. One thing to consider is available octane if you were to move somewhere that had higher elevation. Then a retune would definitely be a good idea.
